AI / ML Security (AI-SPM)
Secures AI models, pipelines, and LLM apps.
Overview
This emerging category secures the AI lifecycle: model/dataset integrity, AI posture management, and runtime guardrails against prompt injection and data leakage for LLM apps. It aligns with NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 governance. Pricing is early and typically per environment or model scope. Several incumbents are acquiring into the space.
Relevant only if you build/deploy AI; aligns with NIST AI RMF / ISO 42001.
Advantages
- Secures the AI lifecycle and LLM apps
